Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda
- 4 cups Hot water
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sea salt
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted cheese mixture and the large egg to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. If the dough seems sticky, you can slightly moisten your hands with water to make it easier to handle.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long rope, about 12 to 15 inches long, and form into a pretzel shape.
In a pot, bring the hot water and baking soda to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.
Carefully dip each pretzel in the baking soda water for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle each pretzel with coarse sea salt and cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
